i have a wix forum with over 3k members and a facebook group page with over 18k members. I've been using the Facebook group alot more lately since Google+ is dying and I noticed how much more I am kept busy on there cause I am dinged for each notification which keeps me more instantly able to respond to all activity im in involved in, such as replies, tagged etc. My wix forum peer to peer chat has notifying dings when messaged and I think we should have the option for notification dings on our Wix forum as well like Facebook. It really does help the members keep engaged and more interactive with each other. I know many may not like this idea but as a site/forum owner i think we should be able to have that as part of our site by enabling it, with the options for individual forum members to mute it if its disturbing to them. I really think it helps keep them glued to the site Please consider. It could be fun especially when Wix adds member badges

We do, for private messaging.
Hi John, if you had the Wix Mobile application, you could get sound notifications. But if you use only mobile version and you get notified via your Gmail, then you should set your Gmail sound notifications louder. If I misunderstood you, please write me directly:)
I know this is an old post but this feature would be also very helpful for PC users when they are on another tab!
@Greta Galubauskaitė i haven't made a mobile app for my website yet. Its been complicated but i agree. However we would still like desktop notifications on the site. We get dinged when we get an incoming private chats but alot of our members dont use the site as much because they say they are never notified on site when they get an incoming notification. I have told them to go to the settings and set their preference of email notifications, but we really need those incoming dings like they have on Facebook. It will help keep them more active on the site.
